US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help.

YOUR LAST DAY TO GUARANTEE RECEIVING A T-SHIRT WITH YOUR REGISTRATION IS May 1st! The 2nd Annual Kristen's Krew 5K is part of a full weekend of exciting events honoring Kristen McCartney and her perseverance - and raising money for the Kristen McCartney Perseverance Scholarship. Funds raised will help young women reach their college goals. Kristen McCartney was a beloved daughter, sister, and friend, who passed away in 2021. Kristen had a form of epilepsy that was not fully controlled by medication, and could be triggered by sunlight. That never stopped her from living the life she wanted. She played competitive soccer until she went to college, worked a part time job, spent time with friends and family traveling and creating all kinds of memories. To honor her memory, the Kristen McCartney Perseverance Scholarship will support female students from her home state of North Carolina. It takes passion and perseverance to pursue upper-level education. This scholarship will recognize those traits in others, fueling their excitement and encouraging their futures. Students will be selected based on academic excellence, community involvement, and inclusivity. Female high school juniors and seniors in North Carolina are eligible to apply if they have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have volunteer or non-profit experience.

Ryan’s Run: A 5K for Recovery & Hope We are honored to present Ryan’s Run, a community 5K dedicated to celebrating the life of Ryan McDermott, a loving father, son, brother, and friend. Ryan’s journey with substance use was long and difficult, but it never defined who he truly was. He was known for his kind heart, his adventurous spirit, and his deep love of music. Music was the soundtrack of his life, and he often shared it with those around him as a way of connecting, lifting spirits, and creating joy. Although his battle with substance use was painful, programs like those supported by the New Hampshire Coalition of Recovery Residences (NHCORR) gave him years of sobriety, stability, and happiness. Those were years filled with family, laughter, and memories that will be cherished forever. While we grieve the loss of Ryan, we also celebrate his legacy. He would be so proud and so happy to know that an event like this is happening in his honor, bringing people together to support re

What Is OUTLAST? OUTLAST is a 6-hour trail endurance challenge where runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour. Each lap must be finished within the hour to stay in the event. If you finish early, you rest until the next round. Miss a lap, and you’re out. Complete all six rounds, and you OUTLAST. This isn't just about speed — it's about pacing, discipline, and mental grit. Whether you're trying to survive all six or win your division, the challenge is the same: show up each hour, push your limits, and stay in it. Each course is trail-based, with natural terrain, elevation, and unpredictable conditions. You’ll have time between rounds to recover, refuel, and refocus — but not much. What You Earn: ​4 laps = “Grit Earned” patch 5 laps = “Survivor” patch 6 laps = Premium “OUTLAST” medal ​​All participants receive a premium OUTLAST Tee. Top male and female with the fastest combined 5K times at each event win the 1st Place OUTLAST award. Finishers are ranked on the world leaderboard—and the fastest runner across all OUTLAST 6-hour events (including the Championship) will be crowned World Champion and take home a cash prize of $1,000. The top 5 Male and Female 6-hour champions from each city will earn a spot in the Outlast World Championship in DFW December 4 2027, where they’ll compete against the best of the best at the end of the Tour, and the 1st-3rd place male and female winners of the Championship take home a cash prize, listed below. (This is separate from the world leaderboard prize money.) 1st place = $1,200 2nd place = $800 3rd place = $500 Frequently Asked Questions: Do I have to run all 6 laps? Nope. Run as many as you can. If you complete 4 or 5, you'll still earn a patch. Only those who finish all 6 get the OUTLAST medal and leaderboard ranking. What happens if I don’t finish a lap in time? You're out. The next lap starts at the top of the next hour, and only those who completed the last lap on time can continue. How is the race timed? Each 5K is timed individually. If you complete all 6, your combined time counts toward the local win and world leaderboard. Are these trail races or road? Every OUTLAST race is on trail terrain — dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation. Sometimes some pavement and gravel. Can I walk? Yes, as long as you finish the 5K within the hour. But some courses are rugged, and time can sneak up on you. Are there aid stations? Yes. There will be water, basic hydration, and snacks at the basecamp/loop start. This is a cupless event — bring your own bottle or hydration system. What should I bring? Trail shoes, hydration system, layers (weather dependent), fuel between laps, and grit. Can I setup a tent? Absolutely, bring your own aid station/tent setup. *NO STAKES ALLOWED Is OUTLAST for beginners? Yes — if you're mentally tough. You don’t need to be fast, just consistent and ready to suffer a little. How do I win? If you finish all 6 laps and have the fastest combined time, you win your division (male/female). Winners are also added to the world leaderboard for a shot at the $1,000 national prize & title.

Why not combine 2 of my favorite activities into one! Introducing the Run & Cube 5K --- a quirky twist on the usual 5K for all running geeks or geeky runners. Here's how it works: When you sign in and pick up your bib number you will be given a 3x3x3 cube (similar to Rubik's Cube {tm}) that has been scrambled randomly. You can try and solve it before the race starts and/or during the race while you are running. Once you cross the finish line --- if you have solved at least one side of the cube --- you can present it to the timing crew and receive a bonus deduction from your race time. Full size cubes with the race logo on them will be awarded to the fastest running cubers based on their final time after any deductions for solving one or more sides of the cube. Run & Cube 5K Rules: Runners should work independently to solve their own cube. Runners can attempt to solve the cube before or during the race and if they solve at least 1 side of the cube can check in with the timers at the end of the race to receive their bonus time deduction. Time Deduction will be calculated as follows: 1 side = 1 minutes; 2 sides = 1.5 minutes; 3 sides = 2 minutes; 4 sides = 2.5 minutes; 5 sides = 3 minutes; ALL 6 sides = 5 minutes. 50% of the proceeds of this race will go towards the organization of the first ever speed cubing competition in the Madeira (a semi-independent small group of islands 200 miles off the coast of Morocco) and the other 50% will go to local school's Math Teams. The race will be run on the usual Delta Dental 5K course in Concord NH. Refreshments will be available post race.

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.
